RE: Comfort forgone: Sharing suffering in a gift economy
Greed indeed is a nasty bastard as we have established. I've self taught not to envy, but to apply if I want.
What is the point in wasting time on crying about what someone else has when I could be applying myself and that time into effort in order to acquire. As for the steemit community, I'm growing slowly while enjoying what I'm doing and greatly appreciate everything I'm given, yes it would be nice to get a little more and or a little more often, but that would take away from someone else wanting the same and if we get what we want all the time we tend to become greedy and self serving.
Not who I want to be and I agree with you on building the community I'm involved with so we can hopefully all smile together. Talking of which, I've started putting up some simple posts so feel free to check them out please, criticism welcome
